Proponents of deficit reduction argue that governments who do not control budget deficits and debt are at risk of losing their ability to borrow money at affordable rates. Opponents of deficit reduction argue that government spending would increase demand for goods and services and help avert a dangerous fall into deflation, a downward spiral in wages and prices that can cripple an economy for years.

@9BTNJYNNew Democracy12mos12MO
maybe the increase to industry and making more factories could bring more income to pay the dept and increasing the taxes on wealthy people
@9BSVF2F12mos12MO
No cuts in public spending but end tax evasion by lowering the income tax for the poor and increasing it for the rich at a threshold of around 100.000€ for example
No I think the taxation system should be changed so more people and corporations go by it. As a result the government will have another resource for money.
@9BN6B4JNew Democracy12mos12MO
No, just make sure to take better care of where the money goes.
There should not exist a national debt, therefore the government shoud fight to delete it in general.
To reduce debt the government should tax more the rich corporations, end tax evasions and loopholes, reduce millitary spending and reduce the salaries of government officials
Yes, make cuts to unnecessary public spending and decrease taxes
